An EXCELLENT show. They put in so many subtle things for fans of the game series like me. This is an incredibly good representation of the story (as well as some spinoffs that are accurate to the whole "aura"), and Henry Cavill's portrayal of Geralt is Spot. Effing. On. Forget about any bad review you've seen- in this day and age it seems people are entirely overly-sensitive, cynical, and critical of anything good being brought into the world.
IGN is the biggest joke to hit the free market. Rotten tomatoes... lol. Those trolls are so out of touch with reality and true entertainment, you're better off getting a review from a goat... or... well... me. Whether you're a fan of the game series or you know nothing about the Witcher saga, you will be entertained and exposed to a different dimension and story.
